‚Ä®‚Ä®Ceaseless activity is not God’s plan for your life. Times of withdrawal for renewed strength are always necessary. Wait for the faintest tremor of fear and stop all work, everything, and rest before God until you are strong again. Deal in the same way with all tired feelings. Then you need rest of body and renewal of spirit force. Saint Paul said: “I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.” This does not mean that you are to do all things and then rely on God to find strength. It means that you are to do the things you believe God wants you to do and only then can you rely on His supply of power. ‚Ä®

Prayer for the Day

‚Ä®‚Ä®I pray that God’s spirit may be my master always. I pray that I may learn how to rest and listen, as well as how to work.
